New sod, trees and other types of plants have been put in on the south side of Hospitality Lane.

Construction progress on Hospitality Lane has become quite apparent during the past month as concrete driveways and sidewalks have re-opened and new landscaping has been planted along the south side of the street. In fact, on the west end of Hospitality Lane, traffic control has been lifted near E Street and the public can now see the new width of the street.

Additionally, new concrete bus pads have been poured at Omnitrans Route 2 stops along the south side of Hospitality Lane and slot asphalt paving is expected to begin at the end of April. The slot paving will allow traffic lanes to moved outward as construction crews begin to work on the center-running lane stations at Hunts Lane and Carnegie Drive.

During the next few weeks, the planter walls at the Tippecanoe Avenue station on Hospitality Lane will be formed and poured.

On the east end of Hospitality Lane, crews have achieved key milestones in building the center-running lane station at Tippecanoe Avenue. The concrete structure slab has been poured and planter walls will be formed and poured during the next few weeks.

New landscaping, curbs, gutters and sidewalks at the southwest corner of Hospitality Lane and Tippecanoe Avenue in front of Costco – ahead of the holiday shopping season in November.

As construction of the Omnitrans sbX line continues to move forward, the management team is continually looking to work with businesses and the city to find ways to minimize impacts and maintain access throughout the corridor.

In advance of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday shopping period, construction management identified an opportunity to widen both sides of Hospitality Lane near Tippecanoe Avenue and open up all lanes of travel by November 1.

Crews worked day and night in the months leading up to build the new curb and gutter, sidewalk and driveways as well as the installation of landscape and electrical poles. The road was paved and striped for two lanes in each direction to accommodate the increased volume of shoppers. As a result of collaboration efforts, the street in this area has been clear of construction since November 1 and will continue through the end of the year for the Christmas and New Year’s Day Holiday shopping period.

LANE CLOSURE: Parking and lane nearest the curb along the east side of E Street between 10th Street and 6th Street has been eliminated. Traffic control in effect on east and west side of E Street throughout the corridor.

To establish a safe work environment for crews and the public, the construction crew has implemented traffic control measures that allow for at least one lane in each direction to be open during construction. Maintaining access to businesses is a high priority as part of this project. As such, signage is placed throughout the corridor to inform the public that they are open for business.

Several new areas of the SbX corridor will be starting construction on Monday, June 18th.

Alternate stops planned for Cal State San Bernardino
Construction will be starting at Cal State San Bernardino which will cause the temporary closure of our bus stop. On Monday, we will adjust our stop to an area in front of the Coyote Book Store. The stop will only be at this location for one week, and we will relocate to an area on Coyote Way near the Student Fitness Center and Jack Brown Building. We will be at this location until the end of September or sooner if access is permitted back at the original stop area.

Alternate stops planned along E Street
Construction activities will also be starting on E Street between Orange Show Road and Hospitality Lane. Bus stops in both directions at E Street & Orange Show Road and E Street & Century will be out of service. We will have stops in both directions at E Street & Chandler. Our bus stops further south at E Street & McKay will remain in service.

We will also provide an adjusted stop at E Street & Orange Show Road to serve the northbound E Street & Orange Show Road closed stop. E Street & Orange Show Road, southbound, will need to use either the preceding stop at E Street & South Mall or our temporary stop at E Street & Chandler.

PLEASE NOTE:
This week, planned water service interruption is expected as a result of water meter relocation work in select areas of Hospitality Lane. Service interruption will be minimal and will only take place when meters are ready to be connected to the main water line at night. Outreach to businesses regarding this activity is ongoing. Notification of temporary service interruption will occur at least 24 hours in advance.
